His comparative analysis throws new light on much- 2 contested theories of gunpowder empires and the spread of the military 3 revolution. 4 As the first original analysis of Mughal warfare for almost a century, this 5 will make essential reading for military specialists, students of military history 6 and general Asian history. 7 8 Jos Gommans teaches Indian history at the Kern Institute of Leiden 9 University in the Netherlands.

    5. the Foundation of the Swaraj

    5. The Foundation of the Swaraj In the first half of the seventeenth century, an epoch making personality emerged in Maharashtra - Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj. He established Swaraj by challenging the unjust ruling powers here. Shivaji Maharaj was born at the Shivneri fort near Junnar in Pune district on the day of Phalgun Vadya Tritiya in the Shaka year 1551, that is on 19 February 1630. Shahajiraje : Shahajiraje, the father of Shivaji Maharaj was a pre-eminent Sardar in the Deccan. The Mughals had launched a campaign to conquer the Nizamshahi Kingdom. The Adilshah of Bijapur allied with the Mughals in this campaign. Shahaji Maharaj did not wish the Mughals to get an entry into the South. So he tried to save Nizamshahi by offering stiff resistance to the Mughals. But he could not withstand the combined might of the Mughals Shahajiraje and the Adilshah. The Nizamshahi was defeated and came to an end in 1636 CE. After the Nizamshahi was wiped out, Shahajiraje became a Sardar of the Adilshah of Bijapur. The region comprising Pune, Supe, Indapur and Chakan parganas located between the Bheema and Neera rivers was vested in Shahajiraje as a jagir. This was continued by the Adilshah, and he also granted the jagir of Bengaluru and the neighbouring areas in Karnataka to Shahajiraje. For your information Jahagir or jagir means the right to enjoy the revenue of a region. The Sardars in the service of rulers used to get the revenue of the region as income instead of getting salaries directly. The region was chosen in such a way that the revenue would be equal to the salary.
  • Sher Shah Suri

    Sher Shah Suri

    MODULE-3 FORMATION OF MUGHAL EMPIRE TOPIC- SHER SHAH SURI PRIYANKA.E.K ASSISTANT PROFESSOR DEPARTMENT OF HISTORY LITTLE FLOWER COLLEGE, GURUVAYOOR Sher Shah Suri, whose original name was Farid was the founder of the Suri dynasty. Son of a petty jagirdar, neglected by his father and ill treated by his step-mother, he very successfully challenged the authority of Mughal emperor Humayun, drove him out of India and occupied the throne of Delhi. All this clearly demonstrates his extra-ordinary qualities of his hand, head and heart. Once again Sher Shah established the Afghan Empire which had been taken over by Babur. The intrigues of his mother compelled the young Farid Khan to leave Sasaram (Bihar), the jagir of his father. He went to Jaunpur for studies. In his studies, he so distinguished himself that the subedar of Jaunpur was greatly impressed. He helped him to become the administrator of his father’s jagir which prospered by his efforts. His step-mother’s jealousy forced him to search for another employment and he took service under Bahar Khan, the ruler of South Bihar, who gave him the title of Sher Khan for his bravery in killing a tiger single-handed. But the intrigues of his enemies compelled him to leave Bihar and join the camp of Babur in 1527. He rendered valuable help to Babur in the campaign against the Afghans in Bihar. In due course, Babur became suspicious of Sher Khan who soon slipped away. As his former master Bahar Khan, the ruler of South Bihar had died, he was made the guardian and regent of the minor son of the deceased.

    Akbar by Abdur Rahim Khan-I- Khana

    Mughals Babur (1526 - 1530 C.E.) ØBabur originally called as Zahiruddin Muhammed Babur was the founder of the Mughal Empire in India. ØHe was a descendent of Timur (Father’s line) & Changez Khan (mother’s line). His dynasty was called as Timurid dynasty. ØAround 1494 C.E. Babur succeeded his father Umar Sheikh Mirza as the ruler of Ferghana. ØHe won the Timurid capital of Samarkand twice but lost it instantly. Battle of Panipat ØIn 1525 C.E., Daulat Khan Lodhi, the governor of Punjab sought aid from Babur to overthrow Ibrahim Lodhi. ØIn 1526 C.E., at the historic battle ground of Panipat, Babur met the army of the last Delhi sultan Ibrahim Lodhi & decisively defeated the latter. ØIbrahim Lodhi was killed in the battle field. He was the only Delhi sultan to die in the battle field. Battle of Panipat ØThe reasons for this victory ØBest artillery & Babur had 2 important Turkish artillery experts Ustad Ali & Mustafa. ØBabur’s war tactics, particularly the Tughluma (Flanking) tactic helped him to win the war. ØThe victory of Babur in the 1st battle of Panipat laid the foundation for rule of Mughal dynasty in India. Battles ØBabur ruled for 4 years in India, but he had to fight continuously. Apart from the 1st battle of Panipat, he fought 3 other battles. Ø1527 C.E.: Babur’s army faced Rana Sanga of Mewar in the battle of Khanwa (near Agra) & defeated the latter.

    Shivaji's Fortunes and Possessions

    The Life of Shivaji Maharaj, 414-420, 2017 (Online Edition). N. Takakhav Chapter 31 Shivaji’s Fortunes and Possessions N. S. Takakhav Professor, Wilson College, Bombay. Editor Published Online Kiran Jadhav 17 March 2018 The life story of Shivaji has been told in the preceding chapters. It is proposed in the present chapter to make an attempt to estimate the extent of his power, possessions and wealth at the time of his death. Nor should it be quite an uninteresting subject to make such an audit of his wealth and possessions, seeing that it furnishes an index to the measure of his success in his ceaseless toils of over thirty-six years, in that war of redemption which he had embarked upon against the despotism of the Mahomedan rulers of the country. At the time when the Rajah Shahaji transferred his allegiance from the fallen house of the Naizam Shahi sultans to that of the still prosperous Adil Shahi dynasty and in the service of that government entered upon the sphere of his proconsular authority in the Karnatic, he had left his Maharashtra jahgirs, as we have seen, under the able administration of the loyal Dadaji Kondadev. These jahgir estates comprised the districts of Poona, Supa, Indapur, Daramati and a portion of the Maval country. This was the sole patrimony derived by Shivaji from his illustrious father at the time he embarked upon his political career. Even these districts were held on the sufferance of the Bijapur government and were saddled with feudal burdens. That government was in a position to have cancelled or annexed these jahgirs at any time.
